Hike for the Homeless benefits Morningside Shelter

Wednesday, September 25, 2013 — Issue 222

Morningside Shelter's third annual Hike for the Homeless is Saturday, Oct. 5.

Begin your hike up Mt. Wantastiquet at 10 a.m. or noon. Registration opens at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. (Rain date is Sunday, Oct. 6) at the Mountain Road trailhead off Route 119 in Hinsdale, N.H.

Whether hiking to the summit or walking the river trail at the base of the mountain you'll enjoy spectacular fall foliage and outstanding views of Brattleboro - and you'll be supporting an important cause, the group notes.

Raise funds individually or as a team. Individual participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $50. The suggested minimum for teams is $250.

All proceeds will benefit Morningside Shelter and help to house the homeless in Brattleboro and its surrounding communities.

Hike participants will receive a gift and refreshments.
